Has anyone tried heavy deadlifts with these? Anymore feedback for pullups?

I use it for everything including deadlifts and pullups. It protects my hands and it gets a really good grip on the bars.

I have done every exercise under the sun with these gloves they performed great through them all!

Best gloves I've ever had. From Olympic and compound lifts and others, these are great.Mine fit perfectly and give "slipless" grip for lifting heavy or otherwise.Stuck out of town right now and what do I wish I'd packed first? Had to pick up some Golds gloves...not even close to the same feel as my Bionics.Durable, affordable, and have exceeded my expectations.

They are not ideal for heavy dead lifts. They will last until you can't stand the smell of the sweat that's soaked in and are great for everything other than heavy Deadlifts. Get something more heavy duty for Deadlifts

They seem pretty durable, but that's some pretty intense wear. I'm sure they would wear out faster than normal if you were doing that very often. I would worry more about them sliding around when climbing up. They fit well, but with that kind of pull, they might twist on your hand.

They are the nicest straps that I have personally seen. If I had to guess, I would say they would hold up through heavy deadlifts, but I can't say for sure. The company may be able to provide you with that information.

These are the best lock jaws I have owned. I have never deadlifted over 450 with them, but had several cleans over 300 dropping from full extension (7 feet) and no issues, 3 years later still going strong.

Can you please tell me if is recommendable to use it for working out (Squats, Dead lift etc...)

I'm not sure what the small vertical bars are for; possibly for counter weight when doing pullups, but I haven't needed any. The rack does not assist with deadlifts. Since deadlifts are done from the floor, they can be done in the rack or outside of it, but deadlifts only require the weights themselves. I suppose you could load the plates onto the bar using the catches at a low setting on the rack, but it is unneccesary. I routinely do 350+ lb deadlift sets but do not use the rack. The rack can be used for bench press as long as you have a bench. The catches and the safety bars are adjustable to settings essentially from the floor all the way to the very top, so it can be used by pretty much anyone for any exercise that isn't done from the floor.

I have found my bar to be very solid, with no movement even on kipping pull-ups. Added weight would be no problem.

Well, like all good answers, it depends. If you weigh over 200 pounds, and can bang out several pullups, then I would say the #1 would be a good place to start. I would also recommend getting the one above it (#1.5) and the one below it (#0.5), because like all good training, you need to vary the amount of stress.If you are a smaller guy, your grip may be weaker. I am 6'5" and 290# and can deadlift 480#, and I have trouble closing the #2. Hope this helps.

I would agree with the other answer. These are great and I have used them for leg press and squating. Squat by holding the handles at shoulders and step on band. Leg press. Lay on back, hold handles shoulder height and push band woth feet.

They are rated for 350 lb, and what I am lifting is about 250 lb. I would not try lifting over the rated 350 lb.

Yes when it came down to using them I had to drop down a little in weight do to my body activating different muscles I've haven't really used for stability, bench pressing with them are must!! Over all they've worked very well with any type of bars but I've have best success with barbells and dumbbells. The Gripz are made from pretty durable rubber. I won't recommend using during deadlifts. Also when it came to using easy-curl bars it's a awkward grip I'm not to comfortable with. I personally have not used anything else for forearm strengthening. But I can recommend the manta ray for helping out squats and lunges. Hopes this May help out.

This is really a forearm, and grip strength tool, but people do find it helps their arms and shoulders grow, though I can see this as a benefit of a stronger grip. A stronger grip can also help your deadlift, even if you use straps. I should point out it is not suggested to use these on deadlift, or any grip dependent move.Before these came out, people would wrap a towel around the bar to get a similar effect. If somebody questions their benefit, I suggest they try the towel first.

The gloves work fine for these purposes. The gloves provide a good grip. The real problem with the gloves is the seams. They will tear at the seams in a relatively short period of time. For deadlifts, though, you are far better off with a set of deadlift straps or hooks. They last much longer and work far better than gloves.

You can use these to lift but I wouldn't recommend it. The palms aren't designed for gripping the gnarled steel of barbells/dumbells and will tear to shreds. I know first hand because I used an old pair for this purpose and within a couple weeks they were unusable as I had completely torn off the rubber support on the palms.

I have had them for about a month and a half and been doing p90x with them. I have had no problem with them and no injuries. I would not drop them but on the other hand you shouldn't drop any dumbbells. I am glad I bought them.

I'm sure you CAN, but that isn't what they are designed for. I would recommend getting actual weightlifting gloves with the proper grip for the bar. These are better suited for shadowboxing and kickboxing type workouts.

The grips work pretty well. Honestly, whenever I use them for any pull movement (curls, pullups, lat pull down, seated row etc.) they work my firearms more than what the specific exercise was designed for. Which isn't necesarilly a bad thing as long as you're aware of it. When my hands are fully stretched out, from mthe tip of my index finger to the tip of my thumb is about 7 inches. Ke eping thiw size in mind, they work just fine for me.
